Attack on Titan is a popular anime that depicts the survival of humans within three walls of the Paradise Island, protected by the Titans. The peaceful life within the walls is shattered when a group of Titans breaches the outer wall. The series follows the journey of Eren and his friends who join the Scout Regiment to protect humanity.
Aside from the walls, the Scout Regiment and the Military Police also protect the people of Paradise Island. While the early Scout Regiment was defeated by the Titans, a few genius characters emerged in the later part of the series. In this article, we’ll introduce three of the most brilliant characters in Attack on Titan.
1. Erwin Smith
Erwin Smith is the commander of the Scout Regiment and known for his brilliant tactics and out-of-the-box thinking. One of the examples of his strategies is how he trapped Levi Ackerman to join the Scout Regiment. Erwin deceived Levi into thinking that Erwin was his enemy and that he needed to kill him. Unfortunately, Levi’s two friends were killed in the process, and Levi had no choice but to join the Scout Regiment. Erwin’s dedication to achieving peace for humanity leads him to sacrifice his right arm to save Eren from Bertoldt and Reiner but ultimately dies in the battle against the Beast Titan.
2. Armin Arlert
Armin Arlert is one of Eren’s close friends, and his intelligence has saved his team on many occasions. During the Battle of Trost, both Erwin and Armin were about to die. Levi had a Titan serum in his possession, and he was conflicted about whether to use it on Erwin or Armin. In the end, Levi chose Armin because of his intelligence and negotiating skills. Armin’s knowledge of the outside world motivates Eren to continue fighting and serves as an inspiration to the team.
3. Hange Zoe
Hange Zoe is a member of the Scout Regiment who is interested in the study of Titans. Her proposal to capture a Titan alive and study it led to the first two Titans that are alive to be caught. Unfortunately, Annie destroyed one of the Titans, which ended her research. Despite this setback, Hange continued to study Titans and found crucial information on the origin of the Titans within Ilse’s notebook.
In conclusion, the Scout Regiment in Attack on Titan is led by some of the most brilliant characters in the series. The dedication and intelligence of Erwin Smith, Armin Arlert, and Hange Zoe are integral in protecting humanity from the Titans. The creativity and quick-thinking of these characters make them stand out from other characters in the series.
